We're in for a Blustery Day

DW Davis @DWDavis (25797) • United States 13 Feb 24

Yesterday we had a light rain all day. Today we will have wind and lots of it. Blustery days like this always remind me of Winnie the Pooh. These blustery winds are going to usher in some colder air. The temps this morning were...

'In the silence and solitude of the Holy Week, visit your heart.'

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 29 Mar 21

There's one too many traditional practices that I am going to miss this year again. I thought last year was simply just an extraordinary case in point - a lockdown to prevent the spread of the disease. But the disease has lingered...
